*** Tower Interior, Mongdrigo ***
Malgus flicked his arm, almost like a casual muscle spasm, the blade of his lightsaber directed at the knife, which would send it flying out of Great Leader's hand and landing well beyond his reach. "How pathetic," he scoffed. "And this is more than war - it is a liberation, while at the same time a conquest; I am liberating your oppressed people, and taking this world in the name of the New Sith Empire. We'll have one of your people - someone more competent than you - assume control of the government, and we will provide advice and military assistance." He held his lightsaber at Great Leader's throat. "Try and stop us, and you'll find that the creatures that roam the wastes beyond your city are far from the most terrifying things in this galaxy."
It was as he said this that several Sith troopers arrived in the room, all brandishing various laser rifles and carbines.
*** Unburnt plains, Dragon Realm ***
"You still haven't told me what exactly you plan to do," Anna said as she stroked Raz's spine.
*** UACS Iron Regent, Unspecified Location ***
"Because she will need your help - I cannot intervene; I have pressing matters of my own to tend to, what with the alleged Sith Covenant on the rise and trying to figure out how exactly Darth Malgus ended up in this galaxy," Torrentus said. "You will find your niece among the ranks of the NSF - if the report was accurate, she commands her own ship, the Artful Stroke. Regrettably, I do not know much more beyond the name."
*** Unspecified Location on outskirts of Draco City, Dragon'taan ***
"It's not far from here - hidden, per protocol," Roc replied. He lead Alex to a location of seeming zero significance, then spoke his native tongue, and a boarding ramp lowered from midair - a clear indication of one thing:
A cloaking device.
*** Tal Shiar base, Unspecified Location outside New Romulus Space ***
The warbird didn't answer directly, but merely fired what appeared to be a disruptor beam, but instead of damaging the shields, it would drain them.
*** Cairo, Earth ***
The ONI Agent frowned. "That... sounds suspiciously like cryo sleep," he said. "Can you take me to where you first awoke here?"
*** Old Galactic Market District, Coruscant ***
Lana followed after Dawn, a hand on her lightsaber, just in the event trouble would crop up.
"Draco to Blaine - sit-rep," Draco's voice requested, albeit rather hushed.
*** Starship Chimera, Geidi IV Orbit ***
"As far as Melee weapons are concerned, I've got that covered," Vasily explained, indicating his twin Lightsabers. "Dress lighter?, fine, but I'm still gonna sport the energy shield. But ranged weapons..." he patted the M41-A. "... This is the only one I have, so unless you have a disruptor pistol stuffed in that tail of yours, I don't really have much choice."
*** UT Battle Arena, Suite Floor, Geidi IV ***
Keesha assisted Rochell, hoping she could get to Angel before it was too late.
*** Unspecified Location near Belsavis ***
The lone ship continued to sail toward Belsavis, purpose, intent, and origin all unknown. No radio or other communication signals were sent, the ship was running with shields up and weapons powered, and it made no effort at trying to hide.
